In the Blink of an Eye

On December 19, 2011 Tanner was in a car accident. His car slid on some ice and crashed into an elderly couple. A prayer for Tanner is here but prayers are needed for the elderly couple, particularly the female who is in critical condition.  Please join me in praying for this elderly couple.

May the One who blessed our Matriarchs and Patriarchs
Sarah, Rebecca, Rachel, and Leah
Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob
bless and strengthen
the elderly couple injured in the recent car accident.
May they be instilled with patience and fortitude,
sensitivity and understanding,
with courage and hope.

Life is too often taken for granted.
But in less than a blink of eye life can change,
sometimes for better and too often for worse.
The accident that led to the injuries to this elderly couple
and to Tanner and his girlfriend is another example of life's fragility.
I pray that out of this horrible incident that you, Lord,
will have mercy on all involved
and guide all on a path that will make their lives better than before the accident.

Give this elderly couple the chance to complete their
long, full, peaceful, and happy life
marked by a complete healing
a healing of spirit, and a healing of body,
now and always.

Amen.
